Work on display includes calligraphy in multiple languages, illustrations, mixed media works combining text and image, &amp; even rare books.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 18px;"><font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 13px;">Exhibiting Artists: <a href="https://reneestudio.ca/" target="_blank">Renée Alexander</a> - North Vancouver English calligraphers &amp; illustrator, <strong>Chin Cheng Kan</strong> - Richmond Chinese calligrapher &amp; painter, <a href="https://www.marleykong.com/" target="_blank">Marley Kong</a> - Coquitlam interdisciplinary artist, <strong>Charles Mayrs</strong> - West Vancouver writer, painter &amp; photographer, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sanaz.ravasani" target="_blank">Sanaz Ravasani</a> - West Vancouver Persian calligrapher &amp; painter.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"><font style="font-size: 13px;"><font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 13px;"><strong>Meet the Artists</strong></font></font></p> <p style="line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"><font style="font-size: 13px;"><font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 13px;"><strong>Sun.
